Abstract

The extended Ising machine (EIM) enhances conventional Ising models, which handle only binary quadratic forms by allowing constraints through real-valued dependent variables. We address the quadratic knapsack problem (QKP), hard to solve using Ising machines when formulated as a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO). We demonstrated the EIM's superiority by comparing it with the conventional Ising model-based approach, a commercial exact solver, and a state-of-the-art heuristic solver for QKP.
